Minikube helps developers to quickly setup a single-node Kubernetes cluster for their development environment. There are several options available for developers to install Minikube. See, Minikube Setup.

If you are already an experienced Minikube user, you can easily setup OpenEBS on your existing Kubernetes cluster with a few simple kubectl commands. See, Quick Start.
